The issue I have with Mint is my bank uses double authentication, which doesn't work with Mint.

31 single/no kids

trailing 30 days:

income $14,461
spending 10,106

From personal capital so most of the income is net of taxes...its been an expensive month, breaking it down would only make it hurt more.

Ladies form an orderly cue to the left please...

Married, 34, 3 Kids

Yearly Net = Yearly Spend/Save/Invest

all these broken down figures just hurt my head.

I spend way too much on groceries and stupid stuff. Enjoy life, but also have our future planned out.

Some of these ages and numbers seem frickin ridiculous.

Bump that number man. Now, decent students making 70-80k. Good ones are pulling 90k+ in O&G/Petrochem.

28, married, 1 kid age 3.

Gross: $14k/month
Retirement: 10% to 401k (3% match that will increase), 8% to wife's pension, my pension is company funded, $400/mo to Roth IRA.
Net after retirement, taxes, and insurance: $8k/month
Mortgage + Escrow: $1700/month
Savings: $800/month
Cars: $1000/month
Car, life, personal property (ring) insurance: $300/month
Utilities: ~$600/month
Gas: $300/month
Groceries: $700/month
Restaurants: $500/month
Wife's School loan: $75/mo

Average CC bill was almost $5k last year, but have reduced that bleeding big time to only about $2500-3k. Everything is put on CC, so this is above plus "extra" shopping/trips/etc. Makes a huge difference.

Thats coming from a CE's perspective. We are generally at the bottom end of the spectrum. But I agree, most are well above that starting out.

Not that young(mid to upper 20s). Maybe working offshore yeah. But even the guys I know that live there...unless they are docs or lawyers or river boat capts(very few do this also). Maybe I'm missing something.
